Lighthouse, Poole. Tuesday 20th – Saturday 24th September
Coronation Street star Kevin Kennedy is to reprise his role as Dennis Dupree in Rock Of Ages when the smash-hit musical plays Lighthouse, Poole’s centre for the arts, from Tuesday 20 to Saturday 24 September.
Kevin will join X Factor winner and musical theatre star Matt Terry as Stacee Jaxx in the hilarious musical comedy that is lavished with more than 25 classic rock anthems, including, “We Built This City”, “The Final Countdown”, “Wanted Dead or Alive”, “Here I Go Again”, “Can’t Fight This Feeling” and “I Want To Know What Love Is” played loud and proud by an awesome live band.
Best known for his portrayal of Curly Watts in Coronation Street, Kevin Kennedy has a string of West End theatre credits to his name including Amos in Chicago at the Adelphi Theatre and We Will Rock You at the Dominion Theatre. Kevin has also played both Caractacus Potts and The Child Catcher in the hit musical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang – the first actor to have played both roles. He previously appeared as Dennis Dupree in the 2018 UK Tour of Rock of Ages and has also appeared in the national tours of the musicals The Rocky Horror Show, The Commitments, and Kay Mellor’s Fat Friends.
Performer, singer and songwriter Matt Terry is perhaps best known as the champion of the 2016 series of ITV’s The X Factor, gaining a top three hit with his Ed Sheeran-penned winner’s single, “When Christmas Comes Around”. He was also featured on Enrique Iglesias’ summer smash “Subeme La Radio” with Sean Paul, which spent 14 weeks in the Top 10. Matt Terry’s debut album Trouble was released in November 2017 with the lead single “Sucker For You”, which has now been streamed over 100 million times. In addition to music, Matt has also fronted his own radio show for Capital FM and has toured the world in leading roles in Dreamwork’s Madagascar The Musical and Broadway’s Dr Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical.
The cast also includes Sam Turrell as Drew, Gabriella Williams as Sherrie, Vicki Manser as Regina, and Kellie Rhianne as Justice, as well as returning cast members Joe Gash as Lonny, Vas Constanti as Hertz Klinemann, Andrew Carthy as Franz Klinenmann and Erin Bell as Constance. Billy Roberts, Scott Hayward, Darius James, Siobhan James, Hollie-Ann Lowe, Phoebe Samuel-Gray, and Morgan Scott complete the cast.
Now a global smash with hit seasons on Broadway, London’s West End, and Las Vegas and a star-studded Hollywood movie version Rock Of Ages promise the best party night out there.
